Beginning Quilt Book

    Beginning Quilt Book
    on: April 01, 2010, 04:29:16 PM
    So, I am on the lookout for a good beginning quilting book.  I have sewn mostly children's clothing and accessories but I have never attempted a quilt.  Does anyone have any good recommendations?

    Thanks!

      I can't pull up the name of a book right now, but even if you find one, I encourage you to take a couple of classes at a nearby quilt store. I learned more by talking with the instructor and others in the class than I ever could have learned from a book alone.

        I really like The Quilter's Complete Guide by Fons and Porter (http://www.amazon.com/Quilters-Complete-Guide-Marianne-Fons/dp/0848724666/ref=sr_1_2?ie=UTF8&s=books&qid=1270231830&sr=1-2)
        It is great for starting out and a wonderful reference book that you can use whenever you get stuck.
